Today, Mindy Lawton, 34, knows that she was just one of many mistresses taken by the golfer. Throughout their 14-month affair she thought that what she had with Tiger was special & that they were in love.

She and Tiger met in summer 2006, when Mindy was working as an $8-an-hour manager & waitress at Perkins, a diner only a short drive from Tiger's home.

Tiger & his wife Elin would regularly take breakfast there.

He called her at Perkins & said, "This is Tige," - that's the pet name he always used for himself - "Will you meet me at the Blue Martini?"

'She was very excited but nervous so she asked our next oldest sister, Bobbi, to go with her. She was like, "Oh, I'm going to hang out with Tiger!"'

It is now known that this nightclub & cocktail bar was a favourite haunt of Tiger's. Tiger & Mindy left the club separately.

Mindy drove her sister home then met Tiger on his way to his house. She followed, driving at a discreet distance, & at the gated development was waved in by the guard.

Lynn said: 'Mindy told me the next day, "We went to his house and & sex. He was extremely good."'

Lynn thinks Elin was out of the country that night. She said: 'That was always the pattern. Mindy would drive her old Saturn car & follow Tiger in his Escalade.

According to our investigation, when 'Team Tiger' discovered that a tabloid magazine not only had blurry pictures of him & Mindy in the car park but evidence of the consummation, they went into a panic. Then they went to work.

Mindy's sister Lynn said: 'He talked very little about anything. She said he never wore condoms. That really broke me up. I was so worried she might catch a disease, especially as we suspected he was promiscuous. But Mindy was in love with him. I think she thought he was faithful to her.'

In fact, it seems likely that Tiger's affair with Mindy overlapped with his relationship with Jaimee Grubbs, the 24-year-old cocktail mistress he met in April 2007 and with whom he had a three-year affair.

Who is Joe Creco? I hope Elin and these other women take every thing they can get. Ho;arious watching Nike, Gatorade, Accenture, AT&T try to do damage control for this slime. Too bad the PGA will do nothing.

In the movie A Guide for the Married Man one of the rules Robert Morse teaches Walther Matthau about being a successful adulterer is to never have the tryst in your own home. To illustrate the point in the movie Terry Thomas takes Jayne Mansfield home when the wife is out and she them misplaces her bra. Leaving Terry to worry about the wife one day finding the missing bra.

Call me a simpleton but why doesn’t Tiger just divorce Elin and move on with his life and honor the original pre-nup instead of paying her all this extra dough? He really can’t expect her to be devoted and affectionate towards him any longer. His high-priced lawyers would insist on joint custody of the children, wouldn’t they?

I feel sorry for Elin. It seems like she did care for him. Every new woman just tears another piece of her heart. And this poor waitress wuth an old Saturn. Hopefully she has more stuff and will get an attorney and a $1 million pay day.

He probably has an iron clad pre-nup with Elin but she should get a good lawyer and “go medieval on his a*s” Tell I want a divorce and half or you will have no sponsors. Whta a POS he is.

I think this is number 6, is that correct? You have tramp #1, who went to join him in Australia. You have tramp #2, who was on the VH1 reality show. You had tramp #3, the Las Vegas VIP hostess. You have tramp #4, the Las Vegas model. You have tramp #5, who TMZ is only describing as a 20 year-old (at the time when the affair began in 2004) cocktail waitress from Orlando. And, now you have this woman, Misc girl (not a tramp, because Tiger wasn't married then) #6.

Is that about it? Is tramp too strong a word, or would that be the appropriate name of someone who's sleeping with a married man?

I feel sorry for Elin. It seems like she did care for him. Every new woman just tears another piece of her heart. And this poor waitress wuth an old Saturn. Hopefully she has more stuff and will get an attorney and a $1 million pay day.

I feel sorry for Elin too, and this pathetic waitress should go after him for money. Maybe she saved text messages or voice mail.

I’ve lost count of the number of women. If you look at Google news, another one seems to pop up every day. The tabloids have the courage to expose the story. The golf media is silent, as far as I can tell.

Tiger does seem like scum, but are all these women just plain stupid. "Oh, I thought he loved me...blah blah blah..." or "Oh, I had no idea my husband was hanging out in nightclubs with NBA players blah blah blah..."

"That could worry Elin if he wants joint custody. The kids would be exposed to his bimbos."

The chances of any man - in a contested divorce - getting joint custody when his job requires him to be away from home 20 or more weeks out of the year, is slim. Very slim. I would be surprised if she wasn't awarded anything other than sole physical custody, FWI.

He has the drive, focus and physique of a gladiator. That is why he is a world class athelete.

So his libido is strong, and he has hurt himself and his family because of it.

Should he be married? I don’t think so. He needs many women not just one. I do not believe he is a marriage type of guy, and perhaps he has just discovered for himself that he is not suited for marriage either.

So what? C’est la vie!

He works hard, plays hard, and loves hard, and one woman is obviously not enough for him.

Lets move on. There are many men and women who are just like Tiger, but are not public personnas. I know a few myself. Not everyone is cut out for marriage.
